This week was interesting and very informational. We had many appointments most were there for their daily checks ups and shots renewal. A few that stand out was Bonnie the mini aussie who was nervous during the appointment but still allowed us to take blood and other vitals. Then we had Oscar who came in Tuesday for teeth cleaning. The results were pulling nine teeth out of twenty. After the cleaning Oscar woke up quicker than most dogs that I have seen. His reaction to waking up was funny since he had his tongue sticking a little bit out. Then we had a patient that came in Tuesday who had a massive tumor located on her right hind leg.
After Oscar's cleaning, I help clean some of the equipment and prep for Dutch's tumor removal. I didn't get to see the full surgery. Though I did learn by Dr. Dugun how they took the tumor out. Which the Doctor made an incision in the middle of the tumor, and scooped it out into a big tray and a dog dish. The tumor weight up to 8 lbs and a draining tube was inserted into Dutch so all the build-up fluid can pour out. Dutch is currently still recovering from the surgery but she is doing smoothly dispute her age. Dr. Dugun said that she will be going home soon.
